Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to operations performed and equipment utilized in conjunction with a subterranean well and, in an embodiment described herein, more particularly provides for sneak path elimination in diode multiplexed control of downhole well tools.
- production flow from each of multiple zones of a reservoir can be individually regulated by using a remotely controllable choke for each respective zone.
- the chokes can be interconnected in a production tubing string so that, by varying the setting of each choke, the proportion of production flow entering the tubing string from each zone can be maintained or adjusted as desired.
- a system for selectively actuating from a remote location multiple downhole well tools in a well includes at least one control device for each of the well tools, such that a particular one of the well tools can be actuated when a respective control device is selected.
- Conductors are connected to the control devices, whereby each of the control devices can be selected by applying a predetermined voltage potential across a respective predetermined pair of the conductors.
- At least one lockout device is provided for each of the control devices, whereby the lockout devices prevent current from flowing through the respective control devices if the voltage potential across the respective predetermined pair of the conductors is less than a predetermined minimum.
- a method of selectively actuating from a remote location multiple downhole well tools in a well includes the steps of: selecting a first one of the well tools for actuation by applying a predetermined minimum voltage potential to a first set of conductors in the well; and preventing actuation of a second one of the well tools when the predetermined minimum voltage potential is not applied across a second set of conductors in the well. At least one of the first set of conductors is the same as at least one of the second set of conductors.
- a system for selectively actuating from a remote location multiple downhole well tools in a well includes at least one control device for each of the well tools, such that a particular one of the well tools can be actuated when a respective control device is selected; conductors connected to the control devices, whereby each of the control devices can be selected by applying a predetermined voltage potential across a respective predetermined pair of the conductors; and at least one lockout device for each of the control devices, whereby each lockout device prevents a respective control device from being selected if the voltage potential across the respective predetermined pair of the conductors is less than a predetermined minimum.
- One of the conductors may be a tubular string extending into the earth, or in effect "ground.”

- FIG. 1 Representatively illustrated in FIG. 1 is a well control system 10 which is used to illustrate the types of problems inherent in prior art systems and methods . Although the drawing depicts prior art concepts, it is not meant to imply that any particular prior art well control system included the exact configuration illustrated in FIG. 1.
- the control system 10 as depicted in FIG. 1 is used to control production flow from multiple zones 12a-e intersected by a wellbore 14.
- the wellbore 14 has been cased and cemented, and the zones 12a-e are isolated within a casing string 16 by packers 18a-e carried on a production tubing string 20.
- Fluid communication between the zones 12a-e and the interior of the tubing string 20 is controlled by means of flow control devices 22a-e interconnected in the tubing string.
- the flow control devices 22a-e have respective actuators 24a-e for actuating the flow control devices open, closed or in a flow choking position between open and closed.
- the control system 10 is hydraulically operated, and the actuators 24a-e are relatively simple piston-and-cylinder actuators.
- Each actuator 24a-e is connected to two hydraulic lines -- a balance line 26 and a respective one of multiple control lines 28a-e.
- a pressure differential between the balance line 26 and the respective control line 28a-e is applied from a remote location (such as the earth's surface, a subsea wellhead, etc.) to displace the piston of the corresponding actuator 24a-e and thereby actuate the associated flow control device 22a-e, with the direction of displacement being dependent on the direction of the pressure differential.
- a remote location such as the earth's surface, a subsea wellhead, etc.
- Another problem is that it is difficult to precisely control pressure differentials between lines extending perhaps a thousand or more meters into the earth. This can lead to improper or unwanted actuation of the devices 22a-e, as well as imprecise regulation of flow from the zones 12a- e.
- FIG. 2 a system 30 and associated method for selectively actuating multiple well tools 32 are representatively illustrated. Only a single well tool 32 is depicted in FIG. 2 for clarity of illustration and description, but the manner in which the system 30 may be used to selectively actuate multiple well tools is described more fully below.
- the well tool 32 in this example is depicted as including a flow control device 38 (such as a valve or choke), but other types or combinations of well tools may be selectively actuated using the principles of this disclosure, if desired.
- a sliding sleeve 34 is displaced upwardly or downwardly by an actuator 36 to open or close ports 40. The sleeve 34 can also be used to partially open the ports 40 and thereby variably restrict flow through the ports .
- the actuator 36 includes an annular piston 42 which separates two chambers 44, 46.
- the chambers 44, 46 are connected to lines 48a, b via a control device 50.
- D. C. current flow in a set of electrical conductors 52a, b is used to select whether the well tool 32 is to be actuated in response to a pressure differential between the lines 48a, b.
- the well tool 32 is selected for actuation by flowing current between the conductors 52a, b in a first direction 54a (in which case the chambers 44, 46 are connected to the lines 48a, b), but the well tool 32 is not selected for actuation when current flows between the conductors 52a, b in a second, opposite, direction 54b (in which case the chambers 44, 46 are isolated from the lines 48a, b) .
- Various configurations of the control device 50 are described below for accomplishing this result. These control device 50 configurations are advantageous in that they do not require complex, sensitive or unreliable electronics or mechanisms, but are instead relatively simple, economical and reliable in operation.
- the well tool 32 may be used in place of any or all of the flow control devices 22a-e and actuators 24a-e in the system 10 of FIG. 1. Suitably configured, the principles of this disclosure could also be used to control actuation of other well tools, such as selective setting of the packers 18a-e, etc.
- hydraulic lines 48a, b are representative of one type of fluid pressure source 48 which may be used in keeping with the principles of this disclosure. It should be understood that other fluid pressure sources (such as pressure within the tubing string 20, pressure in an annulus 56 between the tubing and casing strings 20, 16, pressure in an atmospheric or otherwise pressurized chamber, etc., may be used as fluid pressure sources in conjunction with the control device 50 for supplying pressure to the actuator 36 in other embodiments .
- the conductors 52a, b comprise a set of conductors 52 through which current flows, and this current flow is used by the control device 50 to determine whether the associated well tool 32 is selected for actuation.
- Two conductors 52a, b are depicted in FIG. 2 as being in the set of conductors 52, but it should be understood that any number of conductors may be used in keeping with the principles of this disclosure.
- the conductors 52a, b can be in a variety of forms, such as wires, metal structures (for example, the casing or tubing strings 16, 20, etc.), or other types of conductors.
- the conductors 52a, b preferably extend to a remote location (such as the earth's surface, a subsea wellhead, another location in the well, etc.).
- a surface power supply and multiplexing controller can be connected to the conductors 52a, b for flowing current in either direction 54a, b between the conductors.
- n conductors can be used to selectively control actuation of n*(n-l) well tools.
- the benefits of this arrangement quickly escalate as the number of well tools increases. For example, three conductors may be used to selectively actuate six well tools, and only one additional conductor is needed to selectively actuate twelve well tools.
- FIG. 3 a somewhat more detailed illustration of the electrical and hydraulic aspects of one example of the system 30 are provided.
- FIG. 3 provides for additional explanation of how multiple well tools 32 may be selectively actuated using the principles of this disclosure.
- multiple control devices 50a-c are associated with respective multiple actuators 36a-c of multiple well tools 32a-c.
- any number of control devices, actuators and well tools may be used in keeping with the principles of this disclosure, and that these elements may be combined, if desired (for example, multiple control devices could be combined into a single device, a single well tool can include multiple functional well tools, an actuator and/or control device could be built into a well tool, etc.).
- Each of the control devices 50a-c depicted in FIG. 3 includes a solenoid actuated spool or poppet valve.
- a solenoid 58 of the control device 50a has displaced a spool or poppet valve 60 to a position in which the actuator 36a is now connected to the lines 48a, b.
- a pressure differential between the lines 48a, b can now be used to displace the piston 42a and actuate the well tool 32a.
- the remaining control devices 50b, c prevent actuation of their associated well tools 32b, c by isolating the lines 48a, b from the actuators 36b,c.
- the control device 50a responds to current flow through a certain set of the conductors 52.
- conductors 52a, b are connected to the control device 50a.
- the control device 50a When current flows in one direction through the conductors 52a, b, the control device 50a causes the actuator 36a to be operatively connected to the lines 48a, b, but when current flows in an opposite direction through the conductors, the control device causes the actuator to be operatively isolated from the lines.
- control device 50b is connected to conductors 52c
- control device 50c is connected to conductors 52e,f.
- the control device 50b When current flows in one direction through the conductors 52c, d, the control device 50b causes the actuator 36b to be operatively connected to the lines 48a, b, but when current flows in an opposite direction through the conductors, the control device causes the actuator to be operatively isolated from the lines.
- the control device 50c when current flows in one direction through the conductors 52e,f, the control device 50c causes the actuator 36c to be operatively connected to the lines 48a, b, but when current flows in an opposite direction through the conductors, the control device causes the actuator to be operatively isolated from the lines.
- control devices are preferably, but not necessarily, connected to each set of conductors.
- the advantages of a reduced number of conductors can be obtained, as explained more fully below.
- directional elements 62 of the control devices 50a-c.
- Various different types of directional elements 62 are described more fully below.
- FIG. 4 an example of the system 30 is representatively illustrated, in which multiple control devices are connected to each of multiple sets of conductors, thereby achieving the desired benefit of a reduced number of conductors in the well.
- actuation of six well tools may be selectively controlled using only three conductors, but, as described herein, any number of conductors and well tools may be used in keeping with the principles of this disclosure.
- control devices 50a-f are illustrated apart from their respective well tools. However, it will be appreciated that each of these control devices 50a-f would in practice be connected between the fluid pressure source 48 and a respective actuator 36 of a respective well tool 32 (for example, as described above and depicted in FIGS. 2 & 3).
- the control devices 50a-f include respective solenoids 58a-f, spool valves 60a-f and directional elements 62a-f.
- the elements 62a-f are diodes.
- the solenoids 58a-f and diodes 62a-f are electrical components, they do not comprise complex or unreliable electronic circuitry, and suitable reliable high temperature solenoids and diodes are readily available.
- a power supply 64 is used as a source of direct current.
- the power supply 64 could also be a source of alternating current and/or command and control signals, if desired.
- the power supply 64 comprises a floating power supply.
- the conductors 52 may also be used for telemetry, for example, to transmit and receive data and commands between the surface and downhole well tools, actuators, sensors, etc. This telemetry can be conveniently transmitted on the same conductors 52 as the electrical power supplied by the power supply 64.
- the conductors 52 in this example comprise three conductors 52a-c.
- the conductors 52 are also arranged as three sets of conductors 52a, b 52b, c and 52a, c.
- Each set of conductors includes two conductors. Note that a set of conductors can share one or more individual conductors with another set of conductors.
- Each conductor set is connected to two control devices.
- conductor set 52a, b is connected to each of control devices 50a, b
- conductor set 52b, c is connected to each of control devices 50c, d
- conductor set 52a, c is connected to each of control devices 5Oe, f.
- tubing string 20 is part of the conductor 52c.
- casing string 16 or any other conductor can be used in keeping with the principles of this disclosure.
- diode 62a will prevent solenoid 58a from being powered due to current flow from conductor 52b to conductor 52a
- diode 62b will prevent solenoid 58b from being powered due to current flow from conductor 52a to conductor 52b.
- FIGS. 5 & 6 Examples of different configurations of the switching device 66 are representatively illustrated in FIGS. 5 & 6.
- FIG. 5 depicts an embodiment in which six independently controlled switches are used to connect the conductors 52a-c to the two polarities of the power supply 64.
- FIG. 6 depicts an embodiment in which an appropriate combination of switches are closed to select a corresponding one of the well tools for actuation. This embodiment might be implemented, for example, using a rotary switch. Other implementations (such as using a programmable logic controller, etc.) may be utilized as desired.
- Note that multiple well tools 32 may be selected for actuation at the same time.
- multiple similarly configured control devices 50 could be wired in series or parallel to the same set of the conductors 52, or control devices connected to different sets of conductors could be operated at the same time by flowing current in appropriate directions through the sets of conductors.
- fluid pressure to actuate the well tools 32 may be supplied by one of the lines 48, and another one of the lines (or another flow path, such as an interior of the tubing string 20 or the annulus 56) may be used to exhaust fluid from the actuators 36.
- An appropriately configured and connected spool valve can be used, so that the same one of the lines 48 be used to supply fluid pressure to displace the pistons 42 of the actuators 36 in each direction.
- the fluid pressure source 48 is pressurized prior to flowing current through the selected set of conductors 52 to actuate a well tool 32.
- actuation of the well tool 32 immediately follows the initiation of current flow in the set of conductors 52.
- FIG. 7 the system 30 is depicted in a configuration similar in most respects to that of FIG. 4.
- a voltage potential is applied across the conductors 52a, 52c in order to select the control device 5Oe for actuation of its associated well tool 32.
- current flows from conductor 52a, through the directional element 62e, through the solenoid 58e, and then to the conductor 52c, thereby operating the shuttle valve 6Oe.
- This current "sneak" path 70 is indicated by a dashed line in FIG. 7.
- a potential is applied across the conductors 52a, c
- current can also flow through the control devices 50a, c, due to their common connection to the conductor 52b.
- under-voltage lockout devices 72a-f prevent current from flowing through the respective control devices 50a-f, unless the voltage applied across the control devices exceeds a minimum.
- each of the lockout devices 72a-f includes a relay 74 and a resistor 76.
- Each relay 74 includes a switch 78 interconnected between the respective control device 50a- f and the conductors 52a-c.
- the resistor 76 is used to set the minimum voltage across the respective conductors 52a-c which will cause sufficient current to flow through the associated relay 74 to close the switch 78.
- the switch 78 will not close. Thus, current will not flow through the associated solenoid 58a-f, and the respective one of the control devices 50a-f will not be selected.
- the lockout devices 72a-f each include the relay 74 and switch 78, but the resistor is replaced by a zener diode 80. Unless a sufficient voltage exists across each zener diode 80, current will not flow through its associated relay 74, and the switch 78 will not close. Thus, a minimum voltage must be applied across the two of the conductors 52a-c to which the respective one of the control devices 50a-f is connected, in order to close the associated switch 78 of the respective lockout device 72a-f and thereby select the control device.
- a thyristor 82 (specifically in this example a silicon controlled rectifier) is used instead of the relay 74 in each of the lockout devices 72a-f.
- Other types of thyristors and other gating circuit devices such as TRIAC, GTO, IGCT, SIT/SITh, DB-GTO, MCT, CSMT, RCT, BRT, etc. may be used, if desired. Unless a sufficient voltage exists across the source and gate of the thyristor 82, current will not flow to its drain.
- a minimum voltage must be applied across the two of the conductors 52a-c to which the respective one of the control devices 50a-f is connected, in order to cause current flow through the thyristor 82 of the respective lockout device 72a-f and thereby select the control device.
- the thyristor 82 will continue to allow current flow from its source to its drain, as long as the current remains above a predetermined level.
- a field effect transistor 84 (specifically in this example an n-channel MOSFET) is interconnected between the control device 50a-f and one of the associated conductors 52a-c in each of the lockout devices 72a-f. Unless a voltage exists across the gate and drain of the transistor 84, current will not flow from its source to its drain. The voltage does not exist unless a sufficient voltage exists across the zener diode 80 to cause current flow through the diode. Thus, a minimum voltage must be applied across the two of the conductors 52a-c to which the respective one of the control devices 50a-f is connected, in order to cause current flow through the transistor 84 of the respective lockout device 72a-f and thereby select the control device. It may now be fully appreciated that the above disclosure provides several improvements to the art of selectively actuating downhole well tools. One such improvement is the elimination of unnecessary current draw by control devices which are not intended to be selected for actuation of their respective well tools.
- the above disclosure provides a system 30 for selectively actuating from a remote location multiple downhole well tools 32 in a well.
- the system 30 includes at least one control device 50a-f for each of the well tools 32, such that a particular one of the well tools 32 can be actuated when a respective control device 50a-f is selected.
- Conductors 52 are connected to the control devices 50a-f, whereby each of the control devices 50a-f can be selected by applying a predetermined voltage potential across a respective predetermined pair of the conductors 52.
- At least one lockout device 72a-f is provided for each of the control devices 50a-f, whereby the lockout devices 72a-f prevent current from flowing through the respective control devices 50a-f if the voltage potential across the respective predetermined pair of the conductors 52 is less than a predetermined minimum.
- Each of the lockout devices 72a-f may include a relay 74 with a switch 78. The relay 74 closes the switch 78, thereby permitting current flow through the respective control device 50a-f when the predetermined minimum voltage potential is applied across the lockout device 72a-f.
- Each of the lockout devices 72a-f may include a thyristor 82. The thyristor 82 permits current flow from its source to is drain, thereby permitting current flow through the respective control device 50a-f when the predetermined minimum voltage potential is applied across the lockout device 72a-f.
- Each of the lockout devices 72a-f may include a zener diode 80. Current flows through the zener diode 80, thereby permitting current flow through the respective control device 50a-f when the predetermined minimum voltage potential is applied across the lockout device 72a-f.
- Each of the lockout devices 72a-f may include a transistor 84.
- the transistor 84 permits current flow from its source to is drain, thereby permitting current flow through the respective control device 50a-f when the predetermined minimum voltage potential is applied across the lockout device 72a-f.
- Also described above is a method of selectively actuating from a remote location multiple downhole well tools 32 in a well. The method includes the steps of: selecting a first one of the well tools 32 for actuation by applying a predetermined minimum voltage potential to a first set of conductors 52a, c in the well; and preventing actuation of a second one of the well tools 32 when the predetermined minimum voltage potential is not applied across a second set of conductors in the well 52a, b or 52b, c. At least one of the first set of conductors 52a, c is the same as at least one of the second set of conductors 52a, b or 52b, c.
- the selecting step may include permitting current flow through a control device 50a-f of the first well tool in response to the predetermined minimum voltage potential being applied across a lockout device 72a-f interconnected between the control device 50a-f and the first set of conductors 52a, c.
